 . Zoom should show you in Gallery EXACTLY what people's screens look like, rather than everybody having a differen torder of people's pictuers. I want to know whether people are seing my photo right next to that of the person who is sepaking, as they're noticing me. <br>
 . Post a link to the ground rules where participants can see it. Zoom doesn’t allow that, alas. <br>
 . I think if you enter a meeting, you don’t get to view the Chat that happened before you entered, so you miss all the announcements. That’s bad.

 *It might be good to point your webcam so your portrait shows  your fingers typing, so  others know you are in the process of responding.
 *  In online panels, don't refer to other panelists  by first names. That's bad for newbies, who only know last names. It's clubby and self-congratulatory.  Live sessions are different; everyone is a little bit an insider just by being in the room.
   *Never say a speaker is too well known to need introduction. Either that's a lie, or you insult people who don't know the big names. If it's a lie, you've humiliated the no-name and lost him publicity he needs.
 Either say nothing, or say something worthwhile, e.g. one of his article titles (*not* a prize, unless it's JB Clark, Field, or Nobel). For panels, especially, I'd like to learn a *little* something about them besides how prestigious their employer or degree is.

 I'm coming back to the idea of revising my  [http://www.rasmusen.org/GI/reader/writing.pdf Aphorisms on Writing, Speaking, and Listening]. In particular, though good writing never changes, technology does. I need to talk more about how to use software in writing articles. I need to talk about programming style and posting data and code on the Web.  And I  need to talk about online seminars, the subject of this page.

+   A fundamental principle is to make the look-and-feel of an online seminar as close to  a real seminar's as possible. That means seeing people's faces, whether they're talking or not, hearing background noises such as chairs shuffling, seeing whose hand is up, allowing interruptions where appropriate, and having a pile of papers for people to grab as they come in.
 There are two styles I'm seeing. One is the "webinar",  where only the moderator and speaker appear and can communicate with the audience. This reduces the seminar to   the level of a You-Tube video, but less organized and polished.  The webinar is favored by organizers who like tight centralized control and think of the audience as being like undergraduates, and below the level of children, who, if not heard, at least are to be seen.  The seminar becomes a TV episode.
